buildingexpertiseFOSROC’s vast experience in providing constructive solutionsto many famous building structures around the world has beenbuilt on a broad portfolio of products. These include waterproofmembranes, waterstops, joint sealants, concrete repair mortars,resin flooring, protective coatings, structural strengthening, groutsand concrete admixtures manufactured to the highest qualitystandards backed by independent test certificates.At Fosroc we recommend the best technology for each projectrather than being driven by one particular response. We liaiseand evaluate with our customers the most appropriate solutionfor what they are trying to achieve. We just want to deliver whatis best to the customer providing peer to peer based solutions forengineering problems to ultimately find a number of ways to createvalue.The scale of the projects being entrusted with Fosroc are epitomisedby a 2.5 billion hotel resort and enormous casino being builtin Macau, which required extensive waterproofing covering thecomplete buildings, the basement area covering the size of 25football pitches.Proofex Engage, a pre-applied water/gas proofing membranewas selected. The project was built on reclaimed land wheresoil settlement was expected. The Proofex Engage system willmechanically bond to the basement floor slab ensuring water/gas proof integrity even if settlement occurs. Polyurea WCS, afast setting polyurea compound, was used in sealing the ProofexEngage end joints and around pile heads allowing the ProofexEngage system to be installed during the wet weather season.FOSROC SOLUTIONSforgeneral ove-groundWaterproofingWet looring &Car Park DecksConcrete Repair& Coatingswww.fosroc.com5
belowground waterproofingBelow-ground structures that leak due to inadequatewaterproofing, cracking or joint failure will result in adeterioration of the concrete and ultimately cause greatdamage to the building’s structural integrity.Fosroc offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of belowground waterproofing product systems, manufactured tothe highest quality standards backed by independent testcertificates.However, long term durability through waterproofing andconcrete protection can be achieved by carefully selecting thecorrect waterproofing system and ensuring that high qualitysite practice and workmanship is carried out.These systems which include Proofex Engage pre-appliedmembrane, Proofex PGP PVC membrane, Supercast SWswellable and Supercast PVC waterstops, Proofex Sheetdraindrainage membranes and Nitoproof liquid-appliedmembranes have been providing waterproofing solutionsfor clients around the world for a long number of years.Many famous structures, such as the Burj Al Arab in Dubai,have Fosroc waterproofing protecting their basements.A recent example of Fosroc below-ground waterproofing isthe Wynn Palace project in Macau where the site was built6www.fosroc.comon re-claimed contaminated land and the waterproofingsystem was required to be both water and gas proof. A fullbelow-ground water/gas proof system based on ProofexEngage was chosen which also included waterstops anddrainage membranes, and when combined with Fosroc’sonsite support and technical guidance, resulted in asuccessful project.

above-ground waterproofingIn today’s ever changing world there is addedimportance being placed on waterproofingof above-ground structures with social,environmental and economic benefits beinggained through use of Green Roofs and CoolRoofs.This ever-increasing trend coupled with traditionalflat/sloping roofs and podium decks allows Fosrocto promote its full range of spray/liquid-appliedmembranes, TPO membranes and drainagemembranes to best effect servicing the needs ofclients and designers.8www.fosroc.comCool roofs, as the name implies, are roofs that heat up verylittle, thanks to their high capacity to reflect solar radiationand, at the same time, to emit infrared heat energy. They canbe an effective solution to the problem of overheating thatafflicts individual buildings and urban areas in the summer,mitigating the heat island effect. Proofex OGP white, aTPO/FPA synthetic membrane, reduces the roof’s surfacetemperature thanks to its reflectance and remittance. Thesame effect can be achieved with Nitoproof 800/UVR Topcoatliquid-applied seamless coating.Green roofs are growing rapidly in popularity and cantransform an underused and functional area into anattractive feature, such as a garden or open space thatcan be visited and enjoyed by building occupants. Fosroc’sroot resistant waterproofing systems include Proofex PGPPVC membrane, Nitoproof 800 liquid-applied membrane,Polyurea WPE spray-applied membrane and Proofex OGPTPO/FPA membrane.Podium decks, especially found over underground car parks,can be waterproofed using many of Fosrocs waterproofingsystems. Each project can be looked at and the best technicalassistance given from one of our specification managers.Flat/sloping roofs can be waterproofed by using either a sprayor liquid-applied membrane to give seamless protection.TPO/FPA membranes are widely used.www.fosroc.com9
